7, Claims. (01. 98-99)- The present invention relates to new and usefulimprovements in window screens and has for. its primary object toprovide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth,'a device of thischaracter comprising a construction and arrangement which is such as topermit the free'passage of air 20 ignate corresponding partsthroughoutthe several views, and wherein:

Figure l is a front perspective View, showing a screen constructed inaccordance with the present invention installed.

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the device.

Figure 3 is a top plan view. t Referring now to the drawing in detail,it will be seen that the embodiment of the invention which has beenillustrated comprises an arcuate panel or the like I which may be of anysuitable material. Formed integrally with the ends of the panel l arewhat maybe referred to as flaps 2. The flaps 2 are engageable with thevertical side walls 3 of a window whichis designated generally by thereference numeral 4.

Attention is here invited tothe fact that the de-' vice is installed onthe inside of the building. The end portions of the arcuate panel I- andthe flaps 2 are adapted to rest on the sill 5 of the win- 40 dow 4. Thereference numeral 6 designates a portion of a building wall.

Dependingfrom the panel I is an integral extension 1 the lower end ofwhich is adapted to rest on the floor. Of course, the extension 1 isalso arcuate in horizontal section. It will be noted that the verticaledges of the extension I are spaced from the flaps 2.

It will thus be seen that a screen has been provided which, when thelower sash B of the window a of air but which will effectively 7derstood that changes in truding intermediate l is open, will permitfree passage or circulation obstruct the view into the building from theoutside thereof. In addition to assisting in supporting the panel I, theextension 1 functions stantially concealing from. view the usualradiator which is installed-beneath the window sill 5. The device may beattractively ornamented to enhance the appearance thereof or, ifdesired, it may carry advertising matter, particularly on itsoutersurface. If necessary or desirable, any suitable means may beutilized for securing the screen in position in the window. Attention isalso called to the fact thatthe construction of the screen is such thatit will not interfere with as ashield for sub- 5 the functioning ofshades, Venetian blinds, curtains, etc.

It is believed that the many advantages of a window screen constructionin accordance with the present invention will be readily understood andalthough a preferred embodiment of the device is as illustrated anddescribed, it is to be unthe details of construction may be resorted towhichwilljfall Within the scope of the invention as claimed.

' What is claimed is: v 1. An indoor window screen comprising an arcuatepanel adapted to be supported in a vertical position on a window sill,the intermediate portion of said panel protruding inwardly beyond thesill, ilaps on the ends of said panel extending therefrom into thewindow opening and being engageable with the lower portions of thevertical side walls of the window opening, and an arcuate extensionextending downwardly "from ,the proconstituting a radiator shield.

2. An indoor window screen comprising an arcuate panel adapted to besupported in a vertical position on a window sill, integral flaps on theends of said panel adapted to extend into the window opening and beingengageable with lower portions of the vertical side walls of thewindowopenings, and an arcuate, integral extension extending downwardly fromthe panel to the floor of the room in which the window opening isformed, said extension having its "vertical edges spaced from the flaps.
